Tuesday 30th November - Day 14

It will be a quick blog tonight as I am almost out of internet usage at the place we are staying. We went into Tasmans best cafe today. Jester House is another gem and is located between Nelson and Motueka. The kids got to play with and feed the tame eels, then play in the very cool playground and explore in what is like a fairy grotto.
We had a great coffee and snacks including lavender shortbread for which we obtained the recipe for the book. Yay! Judy and Steve Richards own the place and have been in this location for 19 years. Over the years it has evolved into a sustainable, unique and peaceful place to enjoy great food and coffee.
Back to the Top 10 for lunch and the kids swum for ages in the pool. We then headed off to the source of the river whose name escapes me in this moment but I will let you know. The boys went in and we have some great shots of them freezing and enjoying every moment jumping into the crystal clear water.
Back to the beach for a swim and then on to the Holiday park for dinner and packing up to leave early tomorrow. We are heading to Greymouth. We wondered if it was appropriate to go on the eve of the memorial and have been assured by the locals that it is good to have something positive going on too.
Will finish now in the hope that I manage to post.
